Exterior

Rugged Elegance

Designed by Hyundai's Southern California Design Centre, the Santa Fe's bold styling is based on a concept called 'Storm Edge', which builds on Hyundai's signature 'Fluidic Sculpture' design language. The concept draws on the power and strength of nature to create the impression of irrepressible motion, which is conveyed by the Santa Fe's dynamic character lines, low stance and athletic swept-back roofline

Please note: Active Grille displayed on left hand side is body coloured, while Elite and Highlander is displayed on the right hand side is chrome coloured.

Interior

Indulgent And Spacious Interior

The Santa Fe has been designed and built to meet the needs of modern day families. Whether you're simply taking the kids to school, doing the shopping, taking part in weekend sports activities or heading off on a family adventure – the Santa Fe offers the space, comfort and functionality to make every journey fun and stress-free. The cabin offers extremely generous shoulder and legroom for five adults over the first and second row seats, while a third row increases occupant capacity to seven.There's a multitude of places to store all the things you need, whatever your purpose or destination, including a sizeable cargo area with under-floor storage. Flexibility and versatility are maximised with rear seats that can be split 40:20:40. This makes it easy to carry long items such as golf clubs, surfboards and skis, or when you need more room, the rear seats can be folded down to create an almost cavernous space that maximises your carry capacity.

Performance

Petrol Engine

The Theta II GDi 2.4 litre four-cylinder engine (Active variants only) utilises a system whereby fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber at the optimum moment by a high-pressure pump. Using a higher compression ratio, this system increases performance and fuel efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel Engine

Available across all variants, the outstanding R2.2 CRDi Diesel engine delivers more power and exceptional torque, making it an outstanding choice for driving on rugged terrain, or when towing a trailer, boat or caravan. It is equipped with a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT), which compresses the engine's intake air to improve output and torque, and third-generation common-rail piezo injectors that deliver fuel at 1800 bar with an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control. It is also fitted with a highly efficient gas recirculation system that significantly reduces CO2 emissions.

Transmissions

Developed in house by Hyundai, both the slick 6-speed manual (Active variants only) and the 6-speed automatic (optional on Active, standard on Elite and Highlander) achieve greater fuel economy and provide increased driving pleasure.The 6-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth and seamless shifts, while the inclusion of an electronic manual mode enables a more involved driving experience.

Flex Steer

Hyundai's innovative Flex Steer function allows you to customise your steering to your environment by changing the weight of the steering and the amount of feedback you receive from the road. Normal mode is perfect for day-to-day driving; Sport mode enhances your drive on the open road; while Comfort mode provides a lighter steer and improved manoeuvrability in slow moving inner-city traffic.

Australian-tuned Suspension

The Santa Fe's suspension and steering has undergone extensive local tuning to achieve a delicate balance between compliance and control, regardless of road conditions.

Safety

5 Star Ancap Safety Rating

The Santa Fe has achieved the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating. It comes standard with numerous active and passive safety safety technologies which are designed to help the driver stay in control at all times.

Rigid Chassis

In building the Santa Fe, ultra high-strength tensile steel has been used to improve collision energy management and to improve chassis rigidity. New hot-stamping and roll-forming techniques have been applied to provide added strength to critical body parts, while other advanced engineering methods have improved crashworthiness and durability.

Active Safety

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) enhances safety under emergency braking situations by preventing the Santa Fe's brakes from locking up. It also distributes brake-force according to the vehicle's load. In an emergency manoeuvre, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the Santa Fe on track, while Hyundai's Traction Control System (TCS) monitors grip and reduces wheel spin to assist safe acceleration on slippery or uneven road surfaces.Hyundai's state-of-the-art Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system works cooperatively with the intelligent All Wheel Drive (AWD) system to distribute power evenly to all four wheels and make proactive adjustments to the torque delivery in anticipation of traction requirements.Similarly, the Advanced Traction Cornering Control (ATCC) continuously analyses data (such as road speed, throttle input, steering angle and vehicle yaw) from the vehicle controller. It then distributes torque to any single wheel as required, providing improved lateral stability when cornering, and counteracting unintended over- and understeering, making the Santa Fe even more fun and safe to drive

Passive Safety

The Santa Fe has been built with a comprehensive system of 7 airbags that will protect you in the event of a collision. This includes: driver and front passenger airbags; nearside and offside curtain airbags; left and right side airbags; and a driver's knee airbag.

Hill-start Assist Control (hac) And Downhill Brake Control (dbc)

Hill-start Assist Control minimises backward roll on steep hills, allowing you a comfortable transition from the brake to the accelerator. On steep descents, the Downhill Brake Control helps control the brakes so you can keep your feet off the pedals and concentrate on steering.

Lane Departure Warning (ldw) System (highlander Only)

Activated above 60km/hr, LDW uses a camera to scan the road ahead and will alert the driver if it senses the vehicle is unintentionally veering from its current lane.

Smart Parking Assist uses side-mounted ultrasonic sensors to provide the driver with a semi-automated reverse parallel parking function, offering guidance to manoeuvre the vehicle into tight or difficult parking spots. Once a parking position has been selected the system prompts the driver to engage reverse gear and commences operation. The Santa Fe's rear view camera will display an image of the area behind the vehicle on the in-dash monitor and while the driver operates the accelerator and brake functions, the Santa Fe applies steering inputs and will completely control the steering wheel. Should the space be 'too tight' for a single motion movement, the system will prompt the driver to engage forward and reverse gears appropriately to complete the process.
